Michelle, a management accountant, joined the housebuilder earlier this month from Taylor Wimpey, where she served as finance manager for the last eight years. Prior to her career in house building, Michelle worked within the food manufacturing industry where she spent 10 years as a site finance manager.

Following her appointment, Michelle will manage the finances of Persimmon North Scotland as they expand their operations in the region, which includes developments in Fife, Perth and Kinross, Dundee, Aberdeen and Angus. Responsible for a team of four, Michelle will play a key role in the growth of the business.

Commenting on her new role, Michelle said: “I look forward to working with the rest of the business to ensure Persimmon continues to progress in a financially sustainable way to deliver quality new homes for local families across the region.”

James MacKay, Persimmon North Scotland managing director, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Michelle onboard – her vast experience will be a real benefit to the team as we continue to prioritise delivering high-quality homes at a price people can afford.”
